In da Club

Peekadoodle Kidsclub

Club-hopping these days means hitting the gym, then Costco. And even that’s exhausting.

Prepare for a second wind when Peekadoodle Kidsclub opens Wednesday.

Created by two local moms, the 10,000-square-foot facility is a one-stop shop for kids and parents. Tykes 5 and under wear themselves out in the dreamy indoor playground complete with SF landmarks like a mini trolley and a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Sign them up for classes (art, music, cooking, science) while you circuit train with a personal trainer. Or chill out with a latte from the cafe, check your e-mail, or catch up on reading.

Spring will bring a boutique and kids-only hair salon.

Bring on the rocker tees and mohawks.

Peekadoodle Kidsclub, Ghirardelli Square, 900 North Point Street, at Beach Street, suite f100 (415-440-7335 or peekadoodlekidsclub.com).
